HYDROLOGIC STATEMENT ...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE POCATELLO ID
1034 AM MDT THU MAY 16 2013

...INCREASED FLOWS ON SOUTHEAST IDAHO RIVERS THROUGH SUNDAY...

NUMEROUS RAIN SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED IN
THE MOUNTAIN AREAS THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING AND THIS CAN CONTRIBUTE
TO RAPID MELTING AND RUN OFF FROM MOUNTAIN SNOW PACKS. THIS RUN
OFF CAN TAKE A DAY OR TWO BEFORE RISING WATER LEVELS ARE OBSERVED
ON LOCAL RIVERS. WATER LEVELS ON LOCAL RIVERS WILL LIKELY RISE THE
NEXT FEW DAYS...ESPECIALLY THE TETON RIVER NEAR SAINT ANTHONY...THE
SNAKE RIVER BELOW PALISADES RESERVOIR...THE HENRYS FORK NEAR REXB
URG AND VALLEY CREEK NEAR STANLEY. FLOODING IS NOT EXPECTED IN THESE
AREAS. HOWEVER...RISING WATER LEVELS AND COLD...SWIFT FLOWS WILL
POSE A THREAT FOR ANYONE VENTURING NEAR THE RIVERS EDGE OR FALLING
INTO THE WATER. PARENTS SHOULD BE VIGILANT WHEN SMALL CHILDREN PLAY
NEAR THE WATER.
